Description
Here’s a metric-compatible version of the Ideal Creations mechanical arm, designed for standard M6 nuts and 50 mm M6 bolts.
Â
Note: If you’ve already printed the original version, I recommend at least reprinting the knobs (Plate 1 in the print profile) to reduce wear. Otherwise, the captive M6 nuts may start spinning in the original knobs over time. If you use the included PrintProfile, the printer will pause in the correct layer so you can insert the nuts.
Â
I only updated the arms (including the A1-mini-compatible arm), the knob, and the generic mount, since I figured that’s what most people would need. The clamp and other parts are still available in the original post.
If you’d like a rotating base, be sure to check out my C-clamp remix:

Let me know if you’d like me to modify the mechanical iris part as well.
Enjoy!
